Welcome to another edition of #alternativeweekend that was originated by @slobberchops. Today, my focus is on a band called Breaking Benjamin. I was a little shocked to find out how many people have not heard of this band yet. I absolutely love them. They have had some minor hits but there are some songs that stand out better than others. So let's start...
1.Home - This song makes references to The Wizard of Oz and so many people have tried to analyze and also overanalyze this song as maybe having a deeper meaning about the singer being in love with a girl or an ex-girlfriend and wanting things to go back to the way they were before. What do you think this song is about? Is it just about The Wizard of Oz or do you think there is a deeper, hidden meaning behind it?
2.The Diary of Jane - This song, to me, is about losing someone you love and finding her diary about past and lost loves and not seeing your name in it at all. This is someone whom he loved dearly and was in a relationship with and read the diary from beginning to end to not find his name anywhere in it and then have the question as to why, unanswered, as demonstrated in the video.
3.Angels Fall - This song to me is about the struggles with life and inner struggles and how we get up and pick ourselves up from it. Some can pick themselves up and move forward, while others cannot. What do you think?
Do you have a favorite song by Breaking Benjamin that I didn't feature? Let me know in the comments! There are so many great songs by them that it was hard to narrow it down to just three but I tried my best!
Sincerely,
